When we look at the UK and we see two MPs being killed in the last ten years, one might say, "Well, that is the UK". However, it is not that far away. We have to take this with the utmost seriousness.

I want to touch on two other things. One is the hate crime or hate speech legislation, and where the witnesses' views are on that. Also, there is a lot of money to be made in this right-wing or far-right stuff. There are about 30 million Americans who listen to shock jock conservative radio. There is no surprise, with Fox News being on the air for such a length of time, that this sort of narrative would result in the mess that is in America at the moment. You have the onset of GB News in the UK, which is a platform for pretty anti-migrant stuff. I have to say - and the Chair may pull me up on this - we have Gript Media here in Ireland, which seems to have taken an editorial decision to heavily focus on immigration, and I am being kind there with regard to what it does. Now it has a pass here to Leinster House. There is money to be made from this stuff. How do we challenge that?
